This was meant to be GP2000, in recognition of Greasepot's 2000th find, but by the time GeoWoodstock was over, that milestone was so far in the dust that I decided to hold off until now. Hopefully this will be a fun find for all.

Located in the Mt. Falcon Park are, this cache can be approached by bike, foot, or horseback. The trail is well defined, with a couple of steep sections, but is not difficult. Parking at the west lot, off Parmalee Gulch, is recommended; the trip up from the east lot has much to offer also, but is considerably longer and more difficult. Whichever route you choose, please stay on the trail until within about 40' of the cache, then step on rock when possible to avoid creating a new trail. The vegetation thanks you!!

Cache container is a tin about 6" tall and 5" diameter. Original contents include:
Bandanna
Bear fridge magnet
Butterfly magnets
Hello Kitty hair ties
Mickey Mouse playing cards
Bear in swim trunks
Rubber duck
Hot Wheels car
Dinosaur

Enjoy the views from the trail when you top out!

Wow! Hard to believe there was a time when Greasepot had only 2500 finds! Is there a GP50000 out there now? If not, there should be! Liked this remote part of the park with gorgeous views of the plains. Also, calm on this windy day.

We made a hiking round on Mt Falcon and picked up some geocaches along the way. The cache was a quick find along an enjoyable hiking path.
